Not exactly. it just means they take their style from elsewhere, its not necessarily a good or bad thing, but its just as limiting in the end. And besides, nobody has a 'unique' style on their own. Its kind of pretentious to go around saying 'I am original and unique, a special snowflake', considering a whole bunch of people probably sound very similar to you in the end.
